Why God’s Love is the Real MVP
Pastor W. F. Kumuyi teaches that believers having God’s love in their hearts isn’t just a plus; it’s the main event. It’s bigger than service, more valuable than talent, and transcends human understanding. This love, a gift from above, influences and directs every aspect of a believer’s life.
Think of it this way: God plants a seed of heavenly love within you. This love isn’t like the fleeting emotions we often experience. It’s a love born of grace, not of human effort. And having this kind of love? It’s incredibly rewarding.
Love in Action: It’s Not Just About Saying ‘I Love You’
It’s not enough to say you love God; you’ve got to show it! It’s about letting that divine love shine through in everything you do. Without it, all your efforts are just noise. Apostle Paul said it best – even if you speak with the tongues of angels, without love, you’re just a clanging cymbal. Ouch!
Take a hard look at yourself. Does love fuel your actions? It’s time to make sure love is front and center in your life.
The Secret Ingredient: A Pure Heart
The love we’re talking about isn’t the shallow stuff you see in the world. It’s not about lust or selfish desires. It’s a love that springs from a pure heart. To get that pure heart, you need a real, transformative experience with God.
How do you get a pure heart? According to 1 Peter 1:22, purifying your souls through your obedience to the truth will result in sincere brotherly love. Love one another deeply, from the heart.
Obedience: Love’s Partner in Crime
You can’t claim to love God if you’re not willing to follow His rules. Love and obedience go hand in hand. When you truly love God, you embrace the teachings of Christ and treat your fellow believers with genuine care.
Putting on Charity: Dress for Divine Success
Putting on charity means making God’s love visible in everything you do. Just like you choose your outfit each day, you should actively choose to display love in your actions, words, and relationships. Let your love be seen!
Peace Out: Love’s Favorite Hangout
God’s love doesn’t thrive in a chaotic, angry heart. It needs peace. When you have peace with God, peace within yourself, and peace with others, you create the perfect environment for divine love to flourish.
A revengeful spirit has no place in a heart filled with God’s love. Embrace peace, and let the God of peace guide your life.
